I don't see housing as something that really needs innovation. We historically solved the problem; in the 1980s rough sleeping in Canada was at levels you see in like Finland today -- estimates for Toronto were a couple hundred individuals (so like 10% the rate today).

What's fascinating to me is everyone seems to know and agree what would help (loosen zoning, increase welfare) and there's broad popular support for these (increasing disability polls at like 85% yes) and political parties sometimes campaign on these - yet because of the way politics works in Canada with three levels of government - it runs into deadlock and never materializes. Public drug insurance coverage is a similar story. The ruling party campaigned on it and 90% of the population wants it and yet the political system seems unable to realize what everyone wants. Americans will sympathize with that circumstance, I imagine.

We need constitutional reform honestly but it'll never happen because the mechanism to pass such an amendment is just as paper-jammed.
Once upon a time, I worked for a pretty big company (fortune 500ish) and had access to production data. When a colleague didn't show up at work as they were expected, I looked up their location in our tracking database. They were in the wrong country -- but I can't finish this story here.

Needless to say, if an Apple employee wanted to stalk someone (say an abusive partner, creep, whatever), the fact that this stuff phones home means that the employee can deduce where they are located. I've heard stories from the early days of Facebook about employees reading partner's Facebook messages, back before they took that kind of stuff seriously.

People work at these places, and not all people are good.
100 euro doesn’t sound all that much to spend on a consumable like a phone battery that will keep it alive for at least another three years…
I am happy to learn what I may have been imagining: thanks for that!

The law has turned out to be useless, agreed — or at least, it has driven hard-to-navigate UX that we live through today. The intent could have taken us in a different direction with some care (i.e. mandating a clear, no-dark-pattern opt-out/opt-in ahead-of-time option a la DoNotTrack header that similarly failed): if web clients (browsers) were required to pass visitor's preferences and if the list of shared-with was mandated to be machine readable with an exact format (so browsers would create nice UIs), maybe we'd get somewhere.
Excellent stuff, thank you.

> You clearly loathe your current role and you tried to become an IC but was that because you wanted to? Or were you just looking for an escape route out of your current predicament (ie, management, but not really management)?

Yes I figured there's no time to be hands-on learning anything during work hours, but I didn't have motivation to work outside of work, even on my career, so I was hoping to move into an IC to learn something, but it was denied by my management.

> Would you be happy in a management role in a different organisation?

Yes, I think I kind of have no choice at my level . It's easy to find someone with four years of experience in my field who can do IC work. I feel management brings strategic and communication experience that an IC often cannot do well.

>Personally, I spent a lot of my career in smaller companies (<100 employees) as IC and management but it was when I was in management in larger companies, that I hated the role. Company size matters when it comes to your role.

>So maybe a management role in a smaller company might suit?

Yes, I think a startup might work for me. Give more autonomy.

The dilemma I have, how do you have time to study for a new job, when your current job doesn't allow that time?

Take meds that keep you awake and study at night / on weekends? Or take time off to do it and risk being aged out forever?

If any actual communist spies were rooted out by McCarthyism it was entirely coincidental, given that the actual purpose of McCarthyism was to oppress and blacklist undesirables like Jews and homosexuals and further Joe McCarthy's own political aspirations by collecting compromat on people. The definition of "communist" in those times was very loose.

Just like how QAnon is obsessed with satanic pedophile rings that don't really exist, despite the existence of pedophile rings being real, because they don't actually care about child abuse as much as accelerating mistrust of and harassment against the LGBTQ community by implying any non-heterosexual identity is equivalent to pedophilia. A stopped clock is still right twice a day.

If it's rational to mistrust foreigners because they might be spies, history suggests it's just as rational to mistrust the motives of people who spread fear and uncertainty about nefarious enemies within. Americans have far more to fear from their own government's attempts to grasp for power than they do from Chinese spies.

It's a problem of their own making. While it's not true that 100% of Chinese nationals are involved in spying, it's correct to think there's a highly likelihood of someone coming from there to be involved. If you don't want to be treated like habitual spies and thiefs then maybe don't engage in spying and thievery habitually and the problem is easily solved.
I used Altavista, Lycos, Yahoo, etc in the era before Google - and it was worse.

If you're suggesting that some other company besides Google would have worked out the same algorithms and business plan, then this seems incoherent. Even if true, we'd be here discussing how much value we've gotten from Notgoogle. It's still a tremendous amount of value, whatever the company is named.
CQRS is great, (but I've not heard it linked to DDD before this article.)

If you have an SQL schema and your domain is money, some numbnuts is going to get the rounding wrong, accidentally calculate with floating point, forget to store currency, forget what the minor unit of each currency is, mix up credit/debit, and/or use a negative sign when there's an agreement not to.

You won't find out about the mistakes until after you've been running in prod for a while. And fixing the code won't fix the problem, because you only find out about the bad code after you've already produced bad data. But you still have to struggle to fix the bad code anyway. Use migrations to introduce new columns, while the system is running, etc.

What if instead of everyone updating one central table in-place, they just put their updates into some persistent queue, in some loose json format? If you were to keep that data around, you could at any time create new SQL tables and populate them from the source data. You could even afford to get it wrong a bunch of times, because you can throw away the tables.

I suppose in some sense it is, as it a reverse-geo lookup service, but it's also no where near to the front in the location privacy war.

Someone should build an engineer-matchmaking service with a fresh revenue model that can challenge LinkedIn, whose platform is now so heavily optimized for profit-taking that it leaves both employer and job searcher unsatisfied.

Using LLMs to write your applications is a sound idea. But why not have a platform do this for everyone in the equation? I would much rather - as a hiring manager - put my qualifications into a service and have it automatically and intelligently find great candidates, than dig through 1,000 ChatGPT-customized cover letters with yet another LLM cover letter bot…

Seems stupid to not put something in the middle that the employers pay for that automates both sides of the market to everyone’s benefit.
Not sure what you understand with "common". According to that wiki page, EMAS is installed on 112 runways in the US and there are over 1000 commercial runways in the US (as of 2007: https://www.icao.int/Meetings/AMC/MA/2007/9CCARDCA/9ccardcai...). There are only 15 non-US installations and none of them are in South Korea.
There has to be some sort of limit because "unlimited" can easily lead to customers using far more resources than they're paying for.

However, by moving away from per-seat pricing, customers who have switched to the new pricing have now added many more users who can benefit from having access to the Flipper Cloud UI but were not worth paying for individual seats before.

So based on customer behavior and reception to the new plans, it has made things much more flexible for them in practice.

Side note, surely you understand how indefensible it is to say "well maybe not 100% of this nationality is bad, but if they didn't want a hard time then the heads of their undemocratic state shouldn't be doing such and such"? Would it be ok if I denied you jobs and called you a thief for the wrongs your government likely has done? (a government which you're also far more likely to be responsible for)

So when Elon fired a bunch of people, targeting (as you claim) “native born” Americans so as to overindex on cheaper H1B visa holders, again this is the lefts fault? IIRC Elon spent easily $25MM of his own money to … get Trump elected. So sounds like the “right” like immigrants too.

Heck his “cochair” of the DOGE, Vivek, got into an X fight with the MAGA contingent about how Indian workers kick the ass of Americans. Again, not exactly a raging liberal.
Most people want to judge others and rationalize their own behavior, while piling on to whatever views happen to be popular at the time.

What's worse, working for Big Tobacco, or working for Big Tech, or working for the DEA and spending your days forcefully "civil forfeituring" innocent people's money without charges? The former are at least taking money from people who voluntarily surrender it in exchange for some service, with fairly good knowledge of what they're getting themselves into. While the latter are basically highway robbers. Yet society has chosen to popularize the first one as immoral, and is now working on villifying the second, with only scant mention of the third.

I'm sure I'm guilty of selective outrage myself. If we're going to quote religious references, how about Christ admonishing those who point out the spec in their neighbor's eye, while ignoring the log in their own.

More focus on one's own morality, and less on judging others, just might make the world a slightly better place.
I don't think so? There's only 365 birthdays people can have, and nobody's birthday can be changed. Airplanes' landing gears are regularly inspected so that they can be maintained, and replaced if necessary, so that they're not supposed to fail at all. Only if we assume every airplane will eventually suffer a landing gear failure could a birthday paradox apply?

It was actually a different Reuters article/url which was posted to HN, and then flagged:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42541269

The current OP is from a month or so ago, whereas the linked article in the HN post above is from yesterday. They're both worth reading and are in the same series of articles from Reuters, and neither should be flagged imo, though I think the latest article, about the origins of the site, is of more relevance to HN generally.
This is from yesterday's X discourse regarding the H1B program. The amount of mistruths and racism on the platform was staggering.
It's even worse in Cali because of something called proposition 13: essentially rent control for property taxes. So you have not just a powerful NIMBY force, but nobody has any desire to sell. This creates a highly skewed market while the rent:buy ratio serves extremely cheap rent - people are happy to sit on these houses and enjoy dirt cheap taxes. It even used to be a heritable fixed tax / tax control but they stopped that -- people are salty because they inherit a house that their parents easily afforded taxes for with tax control, but suddenly the taxes are a gorillion dollars. Presumably in fact the taxes would be lower were these controls not in place, the newbies are paying the majority of property tax costs
I worked for almost 27 years, for a company that aligned with my personal morals. The pay was substantially less than what I could have made at less-circumspect outfits, and there was a nonzero amount of really annoying overhead, but I don't regret it, at all. I slept well at night, made good friends, never wrote any software that I regretted, learned heaps of stuff, and helped to develop and launch the careers of a few others.

Mentioning that here, elicits scorn.
It’s lower friction and more palatable to influence what people believe they want than it is to refuse to give them what they want.

But that's not what I wrote.

I may be completely wrong, but what I think is that a dictatorship will, sooner or later, go to war if it thinks it can win.

So if you have say Russia next door, but you're strong enough Russia think it can't win, you do not get invaded.

Portland's Safe Rest camps composed of one-room tiny shelters with similar accommodations as the article's tiny houses (locks, bed, power, storage, water, in some cases mini-split heat/AC) but not built to be as mobile, as they're clustered in camps with centralized shower/toilet bathrooms and laundry, and also built with ADA-compliant ramps.

Memphis had 63.9 homicides per 100,000 people in 2023.

I don't have stats for individual Chinese cities, but China's rate is 0.46 per 100,000 people. In China, it's plausible that the cities are safer than the countryside, and I don't think that Beijing's number is substantially higher than the national average.

Basically, you are 139x more likely to be murdered in Memphis.
I can't remember where I saw this before. However, there was a site that collected analytics data client side in a circular buffer (or something), and there was a menu in the settings to send it back one-time or always, or download it yourself. If you experienced an error, they would pop up in a toast to share the analytics data with them so they could help fix the problem. You could, of course, decline.

That was probably the best system I'd seen, but I can't remember what site it was.

Unequivocally supporting and providing complete material support for a country that has been accused (or investigated for) of genocide by credible sources (MSF, ICJ) comes pretty close.

>but basically it comes across as, "I am willing to sacrifice others (but not myself) to achieve my goals because I know better."

Since money is fungible but finite, basically any sort of donation decision involves sacrificing someone. Donating to fund malaria nets when you'd otherwise have funded your local little league team means you're in effect, sacrificing the local little league team. Moreover, by donating their own money, they're by definition "sacrificing myself".
Is this correct? How I interpreted the author:

- kqueue : Designed to work off of concrete event filters. New event types mean kqueue must be rengineered support it (at the very least, a new event filter type).

Versus

- epoll : Designed to work off of kernel handles. The actual event type isn’t the concern of epoll and therefore epoll itself remains unaffected if a new event type were introduced.

I’m guessing composibility is mentioned because of this decoupling? I’d think a better explanation would be single-responsibility, but I’m likely not understanding the author correctly here.

My counter argument is that the US is already the most charitable country in the world in terms of private contributions, yet there are maybe 10-20 countries where the common people are better off than we are (note the large error bar there). I speculate that private charity versus private anti-charity is like bringing a knife to a gun fight.
"We cannot honestly regret their extermination"???

It still creates non-trivial day-to-day overhead for customers where they now have to think about who to invite and what permissions to grant them in conjunction with costs.

We'd much rather that 90% of the cases, customers can just invite anyone on their team without fearing ballooning costs. Then they can think about permissions purely from a permissions/access perspective and not have to factor cost into that decision.
I'm speculating here, not asserting this as ground truth, but I get the impression that HN generally likes to avoid sexual/NSFW content, even if it is simply discussions involving those topics, and not simply gratuitous depictions.

Most piracy has moved to online streaming instead of distributing files for later offline viewing. Here's a site I found with 30 seconds of googling: https://westream.to/home - surprisingly polished and with much better UX than any legal service, because it doesn't require account creation or logging in. It just works. I clicked on Dune 2, waited for a moment, and it started playing. Picture quality is fairly muddy, but good enough for the average consumer. Under the hood, such sites might still use web-based torrent protocol to move the bytes around, but it's not visible to the end-user in any meaningful way.

I’d like to clarify - and ought to have done above - that I’m not saying you’re lying in your Tweets. Just that the story of any business failure is often more nuanced than “investors are bad”.
